When DNA contains parts from two or more organisms it is recombined. Recombinant DNA is often used in genetic engineering. A natural process of DNA recombination is called sexual reproduction.

4 types of mutation resulting from the breakage of chromosomes?

Deletion: loss of a chromosomal segment. Duplication: repetition of a chromosomal segment. Inversion: reversal of a chromosomal segment. Translocation: movement of a chromosomal segment to a new location on a different chromosome.


Is a gene all of an organisms DNA or only a segment of DNA?

A gene is a portion on a chromosome. It is not the entire DNA which codes for all you see in an individual.


What is the random segregation of alleles?

Exon shuffling may explain this phenomena. Gene expression cause the transcription of DNA (let's say a DNA segment that make an allele) in to mRNA. Eukaryotic mRNA undergoes cutting and splicing mechanism where the exons are united together by splicing introns. Imagine an exon pattern 1-2-3 codes for a particular allele/inheritance/trait, random shuffling that produce 1-3-2 or 2-3-1 will cause significant change on that particular trait. When this pattern can be formed by combining exons from a different allele(say A-B-C) unique pattern such as 3-B-1-C would yield a totally new trait.


What the noncoding segment of a gene are cut out of an mRNA transcript while what are spliced?

The noncoding segments of a gene, called introns, are removed from the mRNA transcript during the process of splicing. The coding segments of a gene, called exons, are spliced together to form the mature mRNA molecule that can be translated into protein.


Describe four types of mutation resulting from the breakage of chromosome?

Deletion: a segment of the chromosome is lost during breakage. Duplication: a segment of the chromosome is copied and inserted back into the chromosome following breakage. Inversion: a segment of the chromosome is reversed and re-inserted following breakage. Translocation: a segment of the chromosome breaks off and joins a different chromosome.

What is inter segment and intra segment jump in 8086?

In the 8086 microprocessor, an intra-segment jump refers to a jump instruction that occurs within the same segment of memory, allowing the program to branch to a different address within that segment. Conversely, an inter-segment jump involves jumping to a different segment, which requires specifying both the segment and offset addresses to access the target location. Intra-segment jumps are typically faster since they do not require segment register changes, while inter-segment jumps can introduce additional overhead due to the need for segment management.
